Answer 1

@scumah has the answer for you: Twitter bootstrap - Focus on textarea inside a modal on click

For Bootstrap 2

modal.$el.on('shown', function () {
$('input:text:visible:first', this).focus();
});  

Update: For Bootstrap 3

$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
    $('#textareaID').focus();
})  

========== Update ======

In response to a question, you can use this with multiple modals on the same page if you specify different data-targets, rename your modals IDs to match and update the IDs of the form input fields, and finally update your JS to match these new IDs:
